Hiya!
It’s been a lifelong dream (well, not really, it’s been an idea for three years now) to make the Mother franchise into films. It’s (practically) the only reason I want to become a film director! I feel these games are works of art, and deserve WAY MORE attention and credit than they’re given. Not only are they unique and quirky-perky, but they’ve also touched the hearts of fans alike. They’ve definitely had an impact on my life, and have helped mold me into the person I am today.
WITH THAT BEING SAID, adapting these games into films will be a LOT of work. Wouldn’t you agree?
I’ve been browsing the forums for the last couple of days to gather information, primarily information about MOTHER‘s prologue. MOTHER’s introduction prologue left a lot of questions unanswered, like:
-
What was that huge shadow that caused George and Maria to disappear so suddenly?
-
Was Maria killed or is she still alive?
WELL, I’m hoping the layout I’m working on answers those questions AND MORE.
With help from MULTIPLE Starmen.net users, I’ve accumulated an evergrowing list of information and context that’ll BLOW YOU AWAY (I will, of course, credit the users I obtained the information from. :]).
With this layout I hope to:
A.) Fully analyze MOTHER and MOTHER 2’s plotlines.
B.) Record information discovered from sources, including forum topics, information from guide books and walkthroughs.
C.) Flesh out and further develop the characters and plots of each game.
D.) Prepare the plots for screenplay adaptations.
I’m currently in twelfth grade and haven’t really pursued my interest in the film industry. I know it’s what I want to go to college for, but at the same time I know going to an arts college doesn’t necessarily ensure success. I figured, “why not start here”?
Once I finish a screenplay for a film adaptation of MOTHER, I want to film a trailer and spread the word. In order to accomplish these goals, however, I’m going to need help. You may be asking yourselves "well, who tha heck’s gonna help ya’?, and the answer to that question is YOU. Yes, YOU, fellow fans of the Mother franchise.
I need all the help I can get in writing this. ALL OF IT. I’m going to be posting the information I’ve acquired from various sources, and I’m going to need you guys’ help in picking it all apart and searching for flaws. Give me suggestions, critique me (I can take it!), do everything you can to steer me into the right direction.
So, with that being said, let’s get to it!
